In return for his role Gonte received approximately $1.6 million from Gary Shiffman after the policies were sold.<\/p>\n<p>Benderoff and Gonte have been close friends since childhood.\u00a0 In the past Benderoff and Gonte used the same accountant for the preparation of their tax returns and in fact each year Benderoff and Gonte went together to the accountant to have their tax returns prepared.\u00a0 It was on one such visit that Gonte produced an agreement dated 21-2009 that was handwritten by Gary Shiffman in which Shiffman promised to pay Gonte up to 30% of the proceeds of the sale of the life insurance policies.\u00a0 Shiffman maintains that Benderoff was present when the agreement between Shiffman and Gonte was executed.\u00a0 Benderoff denies that he was present and maintains that he only became aware of the agreement when it was disclosed to him by Gonte in the office of their accountant.<\/p>\n<p>Benderoff agreed to submit to a polygraph examination in order to demonstrate that he is being truthful when he states that he was not present when the handwritten agreement between Shiffman and Gonte was executed and that he first learned of this agreement when he and Gonte were in the office of the accountant in 2010 or 2011.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Instrument:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the examination a Lafayette LX 4000 computerized polygraph instrument was used.\u00a0 The control question technique was utilized.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Relevant Questions:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Benderoff was thereafter afforded a polygraph examination consisting of the following relevant questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Were you present when the agreement between Shiffman and Gonte was signed?
